azureedge.net domain and related Azure services are expected to stop working very soon as Azure's provider, Edgio, has gone bankrupt.
It's more than .net team using that domain, customers do too.

Azure Front Door impact re Edgio bankruptcy, action required. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/frontdoor/migrate-cdn-to-front-door
Edgio actually filed for bankruptcy many months ago but apparently everybody pretended it wasn't happening, then when it informed customers it was definitely going under a month ago, everybody was on holiday.
See also DigiCert dropping IPv6 support etc.
Some answers to questions in the thread:
Q) didn’t Akamai buy Edgio?
A) no, they just purchased customer contacts (spoiler: sales calls are coming). Link: https://www.akamai.com/newsroom/press-release/akamai-announces-winning-bid-for-select-assets-of-edgio
Q) How do you know Digicert use Edgio?
A) nslookup something like Digicerts CRLs.
Another hilarious one is look at all the things currently hanging on Edgio - from things like open source projects with one guy in Nebraska to cloud services, this may turn out to be a bumper quarter for Downdetector.
Some more updates on the Edgio situation -
- I was wrong about Akamai, they're currently running
- Edgio network is 300 PoPs, 150tbps of capability, 2000 subnets
- Akamai say the Edgio CDN service is due to terminate January 15th, so next Wednesday
- There's shit loads of traffic to Edgio CDN services still
- Azure DevOps blog on impact (where they recommend using connectivity to AzureEdge.net, which the MS .net team say is going away and is migrating away from) (

Probably the biggest surprise of the Edgio situation right now is Microsoft. e.g. there's still lots of Microsoft 365 services operating on Edgio CDN today, looking through proxy logs. I hope Microsoft is on top of this.
Also Symantec LiveUpdate is still on Edgecast CDN aka Edgio as of now.
I'm making a list of all the sites on Edgio which are about to break next week due to their bankruptcy, and there's so many it's difficult to know where to start, but Arsenal is pretty funny (Edgecast = Edgio).
@GossiTheDog Both Symantec and Carbon Black uses Edgio and will switch to Cloudflare in the coming days.
